This thing is selling for a whopping $480 on Montreal Kijiji.
Given the "recycled instrument" business motto of the seller, I have questions about what the original brand of this guitar might have been.





I suspect it's going to be something hella cheap, maybe even one of those kit things.
The headstock seems to ring a bell. Any ideas?

I have no idea but the Grover machine heads and set-neck are a good sign.

it has the faint whiff of something that's been cut up and repainted.

That's because it was.
Those tuners are aftermarket, it's been refinished and I suspect the pickguard has been altered.

yeah, i remember the guy being clueless about scale length and appearing on here pretending not to be involved with the operation.

The swine. Had me fooled

To be perfectly honest, the purpose of my posting this thread is that I've been slowly building up a case against the guy because I'm tired of seeing people get burned by him.
It doesn't look like the guy has learned a thing since his last run-in, here and it's become painfully clear that he's deliberately out to fuck people over.

Also, it may be of a matter of interest for some of you to learn that the subject of the first Trash guitars thread has been hanging out in a pawn shop window for quite some time, now.

I'm a bit pissed off because I used to have shots of a particularly offensive CV Duo-sonic that had got it's paint chipped off, a possible electronics upgrade and a replaced decal selling for three large ones but I lost them in last winter's great uploader freakout.

I've seen "Indie" (brand) guitars with that headstock. MIK, if I'm correct.

Dicked-with SX Callisto Jr.
Made in China, $140 through Rondo.

I had a feeling it was an SX but I couldn't find the model on their site for some reason.

It's annoying to search for different six-string solidbodies on the SX site, they're just listed low-to-high for price and that's about as organized as they get.

The LP Special style setnecks have long had my attention "backup plan" style, because Epiphone did a $300-$400 special run one recently and it sucked, like they weren't able to properly set pitched neck angles at that price point or something... a similarly priced G400 would blow it away.
